The following statement was published by the Committee of Anglo- Iranian Lawyers amid The Guardian 's recent suspicious campaign of demonization against the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK) to satisfy the terrorist regime ruling Iran:

Iran’s religious terrorist dictatorship has launched an unprecedented campaign against the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK) in recent months in a bid to contain the nationwide uprising in Iran. Ali Khamenei, Hassan Rouhani and other leading officials have repeatedly spoken about the PMOI’s role in protests.

As protests continue unabated in Iran, Regime officials have begun voicing their fears about how the Iranian Resistance and their network of activists are organising and directing the protests in order to do the most possible damage to the Regime.

Devoting three pages of a paper once admired as the voice of dissidents and freedom fighters to a barrage of stale and absolutely false allegations is a stain on Europe’s free press. Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, once famously said, “Tell a lie that’s big enough, and repeat it often enough, and the whole world will believe it.” Apparently, author Reza Arron Merat has taken a page out of Goebbels’ playbook.

The British newspaper The Guardian published a lengthy, 3-page article targeting Iran’s democratic opposition, the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI or MEK). Author Arron Merat, an Iranian-British citizen and well-known apologist of the Islamic Republic, has worked extensively to attack the opposition, and penned numerous articles encouraging tourism in Iran as “a must visit destination.”
